Handling Variations of Normal
Handling Variations of Normal
This website is published under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants the right to discuss openly and freely all matters of public concern, and to express various viewpoints, no matter how controversial or unaccepted they may be.
Most people refer to these condition as "complications" which implies that they are dangerous, abnormal, and cannot be handled at home without a birth attendant. I am going to share with you what other women have done to handle these situations at home by themselves, and give some practical suggestions which have proved themselves to be helpful. Making the choice to handle a variation yourself is your constitutional right. You do not have to go to the hospital. However, I would hope that you would use the intuition provided to every woman to listen to that inner voice, listen to your body, listen to your baby, and decide in your particular situation what is best.
Most of the time,
these "variations" become complications only when handled in an
inappropriate
way by medical professionals.
